Lazio hosts Sampdoria in round 23 of Italian Serie A. The match will be played on Saturday, February 20th at Stadio Olimpico (Rome)
Lazio did not pass a kind of aptitude test a week ago. The Eagles deservedly lost to Inter at Giuseppe Meazza. Simone Inzaghi never figured out how to oppose Lukaku. Romelu made a double in the first half, scoring from the penalty spot and then arranging an open-play goal. When Milinkovic-Savic seemed to have revived the intrigue, the oversized Belgian striker helped immediately restore the status quo - he broke through the defenders again and sent a perfect pass to Lautaro Martinez. Still, the Eagles lost only once before that and had a streak of six victories in a row. So even after a misfire in Milan, the gap to the top four is only two points. But there are a lot of strong contenders for the coveted quartet, and only new victories will allow Lazio to stay on board.

Sampdoria showed a very bad start in the last season. And it managed to avoid relegation only thanks to the timely change of coach - the experienced Claudio Ranieri significantly improved the results and saved his team from an unpleasant fate. In the current season, the club from Genoa feels quite confident in the equator of the standings. And most importantly, it does not slow down. In previous matches, there was a defeat to Juventus and a draw with Benevento. But Sampdoria managed to beat Fiorentina on February 14. The Violets answered Keita Balde's goal very quickly, but Quagliarella scored the decisive goal in the 71st minute. For Fabio, who celebrated his 38th birthday on January 31st, that goal became the 8th in the current season. And he remains the top scorer of his club. Having gained 30 points in 22 matches, Sampdoria is in the top 10 of this Serie A.
Lazio has not lost to Sampdoria in eight matches in a row. Moreover, the Eagles beat it in three consecutive games. But in October, the Blue-Whites were able to hammer the capital's grandee with a 3-0 score at home. Lazio was clearly weaker than Inter, but now it will be the favorite of the pair. We recommend betting on the victory of the Eagles in Rome.
Prediction for the match: Lazio to win
